DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY – The EHI Retail Institute awarded Halfords Group with the reta (retail technology awards Europe) for the ‘Best Customer Experience’. Halfords’ solution is based on Diebold Nixdorf’s BEETLE /moPOS solution which includes Aava Inari 8 and Inari 10 tablets. Each year the Cologne-based EHI Retail Institute awards the reta in the categories Best Customer Experience, Best Instore Solution, Best Enterprise Solution and Best Omnichannel Solution. A prominent jury comprised of representatives of industry, academia and research institutions select the reta recipients from the many submissions received. The awards evening took place on February 27 at a gala event organized in conjunction with the EuroCIS trade fair in Düsseldorf.

Halfords, the UK’s leading car-part and cycling retailer, has trialled the replacement of its POS system within a select number of retail stores for a mobile and tablet-based solution. The BEETLE /moPOS solution of Diebold which includes Aava Inari 8 and Inari 10 tablets offers the performance and functionality essential to a stationary POS system with the mobility to serve customers anywhere and anytime. The tablet-based solution lets sales and service staff not only manage traditional checkout processes at docking stations, but also use the devices in any location in the store while advising customers. The colleagues can, for example, use the tablets to answer questions about inventory, provide detailed information about products, or to make additional cross-selling offers. The colleagues also have the ability to access a parts ordering system via every device, search for vehicle specific parts and order directly from suppliers. “Our goal is to provide customers with the best information, optimum service and an excellent shopping experience at all times,” says Mark Manfredi, Business Process Consultant at Halfords. Diebold Nixdorf supplied the hybrid BEETLE /moPOS system for this project. It consists of a POS device hub with docking station and a Windows 10–based Aava tablet.

Aava Mobile partners with Core77 to find five most creative industrial designers

In partnership with Core77, Aava Mobile has published future design scenarios for smartphones and tablet computers created by a hand selected group of industrial designers from around the world.

Aava Mobile accelerates design innovations in mobile consumer electronics by providing a pre-engineered chassis around which OEM/ODMs can quickly build custom hardware skins, user interfaces and applications. The chassis, known as the ‘Aava Core,’ is a certified, integrated ACPU and modem platform that runs both Android and MeeGo provides everything needed for manufacturers to ramp immediately to high volume production.

To show the range of devices that can be made using the Aava Core, Aava Mobile partnered with industrial design powerhouse Core77 to choose five leading industrial designers for two design invitational challenges.

“We first combed through the 200,000+ portfolios on our Coroflot.com site to find five of the most creative thinkers and sketchers in the world of consumer products,”" said Allan Chochinov, editor in chief of Core77. “The second phase of our design invitational challenged two specific designers to create fully rendered designs intended for production.”

“The Aava Core has everything a designer could want — large screen, minimal clutter, and an insanely thin chassis that lets you wrap beautiful design around it,” said Alberto Villareal, one of the industrial designers selected by Core77. Another selected designer, Thomas Valcke, added, “The processor speed and battery life and camera and screen capabilities of the Aava Core meant that we were free to imagine any design scenario without limitations.”

“In the hands of these talented designers, the beauty of our Aava Core engineering really shines. We are able to show handset manufacturers the flexibility and design innovation that they can build on top of our chassis, and demonstrate how quickly they can bring new products to market,” said Piotr Fransunkiewicz, co-founder of Aava Mobile.

Maker of open device reference platform looks to Linux collaboration for new smartphones and tablets

The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced that Aava Mobile has become its newest member. It will participate in the MeeGo project with specific emphasis around x86-based devices and the mobile user interface.

ABI Research reported just last quarter that Linux-oriented initiatives in the mobile industry demonstrate that Linux is a key technology for the future of mobile. For example, the report found that the growth of Linux-enabled smartphones will outpace the growth of total smartphones, with Linux-based devices comprising 33 percent of the market by 2015.

“Linux is playing a significant role in the future of computing and is a critical element of our business and technology strategy,” said Tero Nygard, Chief Technology Officer, Aava Mobile. “We have been contributing to the MeeGo project and other efforts for some time, so our Linux Foundation membership is an evolution of that commitment to the community.”

Aava Mobile earlier this year announced the world’s first fully open mobile device for next generation smartphones and tablets. The reference design is open on the hardware side with its standardized I/O ports and on the software side with its MeeGo and Android operating systems. Aava’s design is based on Intel’s next-generation Intel Atom platform and is being used by systems manufacturers and carriers.

“It is important to the advancement of Linux in the mobile and embedded space that companies like Aava Mobile are involved in community projects like MeeGo,” said Amanda McPherson, vice president of marketing and developer programs, The Linux Foundation. “We welcome Aava Mobile and look forward to its contributions to The Linux Foundation and to Linux.”

The Linux Foundation’s membership is made up of thousands of individual and corporate members, as well as affiliates: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/members. The aggregate contributions from these members advance the operating system to compete in the enterprise and on next-generation computing devices.

About Aava Mobile:Aava Mobile was founded in 2009 by a team of engineering wizards with a strong background in mobile phone development who wanted to build an open-source mobile device platform for the OEM/ODM market. Aava Mobile’s open devices harness the creativity of developer communities and provide the flexibility to OEM/ODMs and mobile operators to incorporate their own user interface, content and services to differentiate their devices from competitors. More information can be found at www.aavamobile.com.

Founded in 2007, the Linux Foundation sponsors the work of Linux creator Linus Torvalds and is supported by leading Linux and open source companies and developers from around the world.
